Hollywood loves taking big, swinging steps toward progress, then taking a thousand steps backward. Case in point: awarding Moonlight, a film about a gay, impoverished black boy, the Oscar for best picture, while also failing to portray LGBTQ characters broadly across the board. In a new study released by GLAAD, we know now the exact margin by which Hollywood has failed in this regard.

The study, titled the “Studio Responsibility Index,” measured 125 film releases from major studios last year, analyzing LGBTQ representation. It’s stacked with disheartening statistics, concluding that out of all of those films, “only 23 (18.4 percent) included characters identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer.” The number is an incredibly slight increase from the previous year, in which 22 out of 126 films were identified as such.

GLAAD then goes more in-depth on those figures, analyzing factors like how these characters were depicted and their racial diversity. For example, the study found that about 20 percent of those characters were people of color. It also found that eight (or 11 percent) of the characters overall were non-human (such as an animal couple in the film Zootopia, as well as characters in The Angry Birds Movie and Sausage Party).

“While some of these were positive moments of inclusion like Sony Pictures’ Storks and Disney’s Zootopia, many of these characters only existed to be punchlines or establish urban authenticity,” the study notes. “Many audiences likely missed several of these characters altogether.”

Using the characters as punchlines also extends into live-action films—as in Zoolander 2, which casts Benedict Cumberbatch as All, who is ostensibly transgender. What’s worse, Cumberbatch played the only transgender character in a major studio movie in 2016, according to the study. There was also a lack of depth to most of the LGBTQ characters portrayed in film last year, as nearly half of them had less than one minute of screen time.

In the history of the study, GLAAD has never ranked a studio “Excellent” for its portrayal of LGBTQ characters—and that statistic didn’t change this year. Universal Pictures got “Insufficient.” Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. were “Poor,” while Lionsgate Entertainment, Sony Pictures, and Walt Disney Studios were all rated “Failing.”

The study arrives on the heels of a number of mainstream movies making a fuss about LGBTQ representation. In Disney’s billion-dollar Beauty and the Beast remake, LeFou is gay, and in Lionsgate’s Power Rangers, the Yellow Ranger, Trini, makes an allusion to possibly being a lesbian. However, the treatment of both characters’ sexuality is minimal, far from the kind of overt representation shown in films like Moonlight—let alone on TV, which has long boasted the sort of representation that film never has.

“With many of the most popular TV shows proudly including LGBTQ characters and stories, the time has come for the film industry to step up and show the full diversity of the world that movie audiences are living in today instead and end the outdated humor seen in many films,” said GLAAD President and C.E.O. Sarah Kate Ellis.

Studios have an opportunity to tell stories that provide “a lifeline to the people who need it most,” she continued, citing Moonlight as a shining example. Shouldn’t that be incentive enough for Hollywood to step up its game?
